I have both positive and negative experiences with Dr. Hashemi. I begin seeing her this year due to infertility - I could not get pregnant. I asked her what I should do, and she said, “I don’t know what do you think? Do you want to try clomid?” I was startled due to the lack of confidence. However, a pro is that she did encourage me to go through the routine tests that my previous doctor missed. She also urged my husband to get a sperm test, which I appreciated. I was having a hard time getting him to get a lab test, so she suggested we do a post coital test under a microscope in her office. She warned me that it would not be accurate. However I was shocked when she stated that she found no sperm and maybe he got a vasectomy. This was very disturbing – talk about starting an argument with my husband when I got home! We finally went to a lab and found out that he in fact had sperm, just a low count. I then scheduled another appointment with her and told her he had sperm and she said, “I told you so”. I was thinking, “what??.. no you didn’t!” She then said that there is nothing she can do for us, and that we need to see a fertility specialist. My husband began a separate organic health treatment and I became pregnant the next month. Unfortunately, it ended in a miscarriage. Two months later I was pregnant again and went in for blood testing at Dr. Hashemi’s office. Her and her never called me back with the results, I had to call them. I found out that it ended in miscarriage again, but she never called me to schedule a follow-up or consultation to help me understand what was happening! Overall, I feel that Dr. Neda is a good OBGYN in terms of servicing women without complications, but she doesn't seem very skilled in consoling or educating patients having issues. I am now going to see another doctor who can better educate me on why I am now having miscarriages and can better respond to my questions. My overall experience was weird. Another downside is that I heard the staff members giggling while on the phone with a patient; and they even swapped the phone so the other could hear the patient. This happened right in front of me; pretty unprofessional!
